Meet The All-Inclusive Resort That’s Redefining How Families Travel

As much as I love the idea of a vacation with my family, it’s no secret that traveling with kids — even to a beachside destination — isn’t always as relaxing as the adults involved would like it to be. Many of my memories from tropical getaways past involve trying not to annoy the childless people at the pool with my splashing toddlers, or my husband and I struggling to watch a show without waking our kids, each using one ear bud and whispering as music wafted in from a party all the cool people were enjoying.

Well, my fellow parents: I’m thrilled to report that there’s actually a better way to vacay. Beaches Resorts has leveled up the game for parents and kids alike with lush, all-inclusive resorts on the most beautiful stretches of the Caribbean. At Beaches Negril and Beaches Turks & Caicos — plus Beaches Turks & Caicos’ all-new Treasure Beach village — everything from childcare to food to entertainment is fully covered, so you can focus on savoring each minute of your trip. With fun-filled activities designed for kids from tots to teens, grown-ups get to actually enjoy their own stays, too! And did I mention family suites with separate bedrooms and bathrooms? Now that’s what I call island paradise.

Here are just a few of the thoughtful features and one-of-a-kind details that make Beaches Resorts the perfect spot for an unforgettable family adventure.

1. Next-Level Care For Kids

The all-inclusive Kids Camp, which runs from 8 am to 9 pm (yup, you heard me) has non-stop activities tailored for five different age groups, from babies to teenagers. Beaches Resorts’ exclusive partnership with Sesame Street means that kiddos can take part in parades, see stage shows, and make unforgettable one-on-one memories with their favorite characters.

Your crew can expect dedicated game rooms and lounges for teens, waters ports like snorkeling, kayaking, and a special kids’ scuba diving program with certified instructors, private nannies available on call, and, oh yes, the all-inclusive Pirate’s Island waterparks at Beaches Turks & Caicos. Expect: kid-friendly pools, water slides, a lazy river, and a swim-up soda bar.

Beaches Resorts is also the first resort company in the world to be certified as autism-friendly. That means specialized service and custom dining and activity options so everyone can participate and make memories together.

2. 24/7 Pampering For Parents

As a local, family-owned business, Beaches Resorts takes incredible care to anticipate everyone’s needs, especially overworked caregivers in need of a little R&R. That means special perks for parents like luxury spa services, adults-only dinners, and local tours to indulge in while the kids have the time of their lives at camp.

There’s also private personal training if you feel like lifting a finger, and personal butler service if you don’t. Because not needing to get up from your cabana chair to run a decadent bubble bath is a vacation goal if I’ve ever heard one.

3. Thoughtful Touches For Every Guest

Beaches Resorts has enough food and drink options to tantalize everyone’s taste buds. With 20 restaurants, 3 food trucks, and 17 bars at Beaches Turks & Caicos, plus 13 options ranging from casual seaside snack shacks to fine sit-down dining at Beaches Negril, the culinary variety and creativity is unmatched. Picky eater? Don’t know her.

Getting to your island home away from home can add up — especially when you’re toting small passengers. The Tiny Traveler’s First Passport offer gives families a $135 resort credit per child traveling with a passport for the first time, essentially reimbursing the application fee so you can spend it on memory-making activities like a family photo shoot or private dining experience.

4. Suite Surprises

If you’ve ever had to share a king-sized bed with multiple children, Beaches Resorts’ family suites are about to be your wildest dream come true. Choose from spacious accommodations designed with bigger groups in mind, with separate bedrooms featuring bunk beds, or private villas available for larger family stays complete with your very own pool and a dedicated butler service committed to making sure all your families’ needs are met (think: reservations, room service, and more).

5. Holiday Magic

As if Beaches Resorts didn’t roll out enough red carpet for families already, it also happens to be the official Caribbean vacation for Elf on the Shelf, which means guests who book stays during the holiday season this year (and next year if you like to plan ahead!) can enjoy island-style celebrations with an extra sprinkle of festive fun. Think special soirees, holiday movie nights under the stars, turndown service for humans and elves alike, and a one-of-a kind Elf on the Shelf suite.

So if you’re looking for an idyllic, all-inclusive getaway at a place where guests are treated like family and kids are not only welcomed but celebrated, let Beaches Resorts make it easy. Your toughest choice? Which resort to explore first.
